She teased the track with a short clip during the ad break on The X Factor last Sunday night and now fans can see the full 6 minute video to the track.

Shot in black and white by Xavier Dolan outside of Montreal in October it shows Adele visiting a remote cottage and calling a former flame who is living thousands of miles away.

Adele acts throughout the video and Dolan said, "Being on set with her was wonderful. And the thought of directing her in the 'acting' aspect of the term was exciting. I discovered that she's a very talented actress - no matter what she'll tell you."

Adele told fans earlier this week that '25' is her 'make up album'.

"It is about getting to know who I've become without realising," she said. "And I'm so sorry it took so long, but you know, life happened."

It's Adele's first single in three years since she released Bond theme 'Skyfall' and four years since her last album, '21'.
